Matt Watson - Supermega

There's still that small chance Leighton is lying, if that was the case he would be very good at lying since he cried a lot during yesterday's stream, it seemed genuine which is why I'm leaning on Leighton's and the others side right now. Or it's a lot of stuff out of context.

Things might be cleared by Magnum oppus Mega's answer, if they plan to do one, then again by how Leighton described Matt and Ryan, they sound scary; manipulative, and could probably pull a good lie. I guess time will tell.

That could still be a thing, since the whole kwite incident (An old ex of theirs accused them of rape, got their partner to back up the claims only for everyone to find out the ex was the one who was being the monster) so there is still that chance that it could be a lie but only time will tell.

There won’t be anything for a bit, they royally fucked up this time. Like legit career ending behavior. I’m curious how they’re gonna try to fix this
I really don't think they can. Unless everyone besides them is lying, which is highly unlikely, then this is career ending shit. I had already stopped watching the channel (aside from the mailtime videos) since it became nothing but a Truck Simulator channel but I thought I was alone in that. If you go on the Supermega subreddit, it seems like pretty much everyone was getting tired of their channel and this situation is the nail in the coffin. They've already lost 40k subs in this short amount of time
 
I think leighton was not entirely truthful. And it’s so annoying seeing the same people that support leighton bash Jim for sharing his trauma when leighton did it and made it all about himself. I think Jim’s apology is genuine. The boys idk lol

I personally interpreted it Leighton, in some ways, confirming the things Lex said while also providing background on his own experience. It supports the thesis that Matt and Ryan are manipulative people/ generally are different behind the scenes while also giving more context to the happenings around the office. It felt like Jim was just trying to get some of the head turned off on him by sharing his (admittedly sad and undeserved) experience from when he was younger. But again, thats how I’m seeing it, maybe there is something I missed

The problem is that Jim was sexually inappropriate to Lex. As far as we know Leighton hasn't done anything.
But I think what Jim did is just a problem between him, Lex and I suppose the authorities if Lex presses charges.
Plus it wasn't too much about Leighton making it about himself, this was an opportunity for people to believe what he said a while ago about Matt and Ryan mistreating him. I must admit I didn't take it as seriously back then as I do know, plus if several people give their statement it makes it more believable than if it was only Lex talking.
 
Uhhh... Whoops, you can scratch transphobia off Ryan's list, turns out Ryan's current/past partner is genderfluid and Leighton didn't know, but everything else seems to stand for now
 
So after their responses, as for them covering the SA that doesn't seem to be the case, allegedly, but they did admit to handling it very poorly, at the end I think it's Lex's decision if she forgives them or not. If you want to support supermega from this point it's up to you, and I won't disclose my stance on it to not start discussion in that regard.

As for the rest of the declarations, Matt disproved cheating on his gf, Ryan didn't address the sexting, but there's a chance that the sexting didn't happen. And as for them making fun of Daniel, I'm willing to believe that isn't true, but something out of context, Matt did mention anger in his process of grief, so perhaps he was upset at what Daniel did, and people got it out of context, I don't think we should take anyone's word as the absolute truth by this point, but it seems to me that's the case.

Also turns out Leighton might be indeed very good at lying, or not, it's complicated. According to Matt (and he did provide evidence) Leighton seemed ok with the gay jokes and cock flashing, he encouraged the gay jokes and even flashed Matt, Ryan and Jim once, in a podcast so there's evidence of it. This loses credibility to everything else he said and the credibility of all the associated people who supported him on what he said, with the clear exception of Lex but there was a lot of miscommunication there.

All I'll ask you is that please don't harass Leighton about this, if you hate him now that's fine just block him on everything and forget about him, but this changes of opinions from him seem to be due to him suffering BPD, something that Matt did not seem to take into account, even though he did know about it.
 
It would also appear that it is true that fame or just the business side of supermega has gotten to Matt's head, I don't know about Ryan, Matt did mention thinking about how the SA case would affect supermega when Lex was talking to them about it.

I think they should take a break from the channel and reflect on what's important to them, but they didn't mention anything about a hiatus. Maybe the loss of the 1 million subs mark will help on them reflecting on their priorities

I don't think Matt will give up on Supermega but Ryan did say in his apology vid that it would be his 'last vid' so that at least is known.

I actually think choosing not to address whether there will be a hiatus or whether they abandon the channel all together was a good thing. They just provided context they thought they could provide, apologized, and just left it at that. Whether you think they should be forgive or you still hate their guts at the very least they took full responsibility (as low as a bar as it is for influencer apologies nowadays) and didn't attempt to minimize what happened to Lex. That was really the main focus.

Ryan did say that he feels like he doesn't deserve a platform, so whether he's going to fully retire or take a break it's unclear.

He also said "this is my final video" but it's unclear as well if he meant this was his last statement in this situation or his final video on the internet.

But putting those together it is a possibility he means he's going to retire, damn, despite everything, I'll miss him

Yeah I'll admit it's kind of hard to envision Ryan pulling a Jenna Marbles but if that's his decision then who can stop him really. I feel like if either of them retire then SuperMega might as well be retired anyways..

Man, this situation is just sad all around, the terrible things Don did, Leighton likely doing pretty bad with his BPD, all their friendships that were lost, and it could all have been avoided.

As for the fans, I'm sure that even when the truck game videos weren't doing that well anymore, I'm sure some of us still looked foward to what they did. Now likely Ryan is leaving and my guess is that Matt will try to only focus on his music career. If this is how supermega ends I'll really miss it, I wanna go back to the good times

Their apologies were really good tbh. They still fucked up with the SA stuff but Matt had a lot of receipts to all the other bullshit. Sadly cause it’s the internet they’re essentially ruined, maybe they can come back from this but idk. Also people were so quick to leave/stop supporting cause of their own doing too, too lazy, mediocre content, and always bitching about the fans bitching lol. I think this might be the break off point, personally

I'm surprised they lasted as long as they did, I started to notice after awhile it seemed like they stopped caring and just pushed out content to get some quick youtube cash.

Yeah they seemed to be coasting along just collecting Patreon and Sponsorship money. It’s probably over now that I’ve had more time to think about it, they would have to (1) care enough to continue, (2) Revamp/rebuild their company since they lost all employees due to this and (3) go hard back into the grind of creating.
